Seems there is a number of Vincenteers running real classic BMWs or having memories from past times. So I like to add some photos of the R 69 S, all white, I got in 1972 from first owner when I was a school boy . The looks and configuration are still same for 40 years now , with 230 mm 4LS Ceriani brake as I had a "situation " returning home from 15 months Bundeswehr duties in 1974 . Going round a hill at 100 mph I was facing a herd of cows on the road in a distance with the farmer watching me on brakes not believing I would stop in time - but I did - just. So by around 1980 I had the Ceriani and 730cc alu cylinders on, for 4 trips to IOM and two to Scotland. But that was in last millennium and since we did no more long bike holidays. My missus rather want the 1964 E-Type for that sort of trips. So once the Raps will be on the road , maybe next year, I do not believe they will see lots of road use then, at over 70 then we will have our limits I guess.
